According to Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R), “entire men’s teams across the country are turning trans.”
Tuberville made his ludicrous assertion during an appearance on Fox News this morning, just hours after Senate Democrats blocked a GOP bill that would have banned transgender athletes from participating in women’s sports.
“Well, it’s the priority of the Democrats, the letter salad of LGBTQ groups. You can’t let one of them down,” Tuberville whined. “And the Democrats know that transgender boys and women’s sports is wrong, but they can’t abandon them because the rest of their group would probably say, if you’re not going to stand with us, we’re out of here for you Democrats.”
“We have entire men’s teams across this country now that are turning trans,” he added. “Women’s teams, they’re turning trans.”
Did Tuberville provide a shred of evidence to support his claim? No. He was far too busy sprewing bullshit and lies.
“And that’s going to be a, uh, a situation where it’s going to pick up speed because these woke globalists are pushing these kids to say, if you can’t compete in men’s sports, let’s just transition and say, you’re a woman and, and, uh, participate in women’s sports.”
The real problem, of course, is people like Tuberville and most of his Republican colleagues in both the House and Senate who seek to demonize anyone who isn’t a white Anglo-Saxon Protestant or who dares to disagree with their fascist view of how the world should look.
Tuberville, it should be noted, used to be a mediocre college football player and coach who clearly took way too many hits to the head. Then again, there was never much gray matter in his noggin to begin with, so his ignorance is both understandable and expected.
